[QUOTE="revs, post: 134499, member: 42810"] Im pretty much convinced that ill get a mac min and a coupel of external USB tuners, but I thought I would ask everyone here why i should NOT get a mac mini? Things I can think of: no PCI slots - everything external. gfx - intergrated no HDMI (will this be an issue?) Ive been looking into building my own HTPC, but it will always be bigger, buggier and noiseier than the mini. Id really like to hear anyones reasoning as to why a custom build HTPC wouldd be better than a Mac Mini, thanks! edit: theres also future considerations - e.g. HDTV - can usb dvb-t tuners cope with this? is USB 2 bandwidth enough etc. [/QUOTE]
